The Symposium took place on Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 8:00 to 10:30 PM Mecca time.

This Symposium comes in light of the difficult circumstances faced by the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip, which is experiencing unprecedented acts of extermination amidst silence and complicity from the international community. The Symposium aims to shed light on the history of Palestine and the future challenges it faces, striving to provide scholarly insights contributing to the understanding of this crucial issue.
